Advent and Christmas!!
Advent I is just around the corner and that means it's time for our annual Christmas Party. Last year we were entirely on Zoom. This year we'll be hybrid.
You can participate in-person at St. Francis, Rio Rancho (2903 Cabezon Blvd SE, Rio Rancho) OR via Zoom (maybe form a small group at your church or home to decorate cookies together).
Thanks to a thoughtful donation, there will be cookies to decorate at St. Francis, or you can bring your own. Remember to RSVP if you will be in person!
As part of the event, we'll be doing an Outreach Collection to support Clare's Closet at St. Francis. Bette Davis, head of the ministry speak at the party. Clare's Closet provides new and gently used children's clothing (infant to size 14), diapers, socks, underwear, baby equipment and supplies.
You can donate new or gently used items at the party, or donate via PayPal to Women's Ministry (link below) who will get the funds to St. Francis, or by sending a check to St. Francis (note Clare's Closet).
Another part of the Clare's Closet outreach is Gift Baskets for Afghan Refugees distributed through Lutheran Family Services.
We'll also share one or two favorite holiday traditions or recipes. This would be a perfect event to invite a friend, fellow parishioner (or grandchild) to.
Note the time is 2PM not our regular 10AM!
Please RSVP (cynthiadavisauthor@gmail.com) if you plan to attend in-person so we'll ahve enough sprinkles and icing!
Contact Cindy for the Zoom link. If you have participated in the past, you'll get the link, automatically.
Donate to Clare's Closet and/or Afghan Refugee Basket (note the PayPal account will say Footprints from the Bible)
